  • A little teasing look at Chappie's Manhurin-built SIG SG 540 in .223 Rem on the 300m range.
    Blokey likey. It's kinda the M16A1 of the SIG range :)
    Also served as practice for working with a handheld Rode Wireless Go in an interview stick.

    I read something in a book that I have from Small Arms of the World 1977 edition that the French Foreign Legion was considering this rifle for their Parachute Regiment. When the idea was dropped the only thing the Paratroopers got was their bayonets which they used as personal knives with their gear along with their issued FAMAS bayonets. The SIG bayonets for French issue are rare now and collectors item because many Legionaires took them home after faithful service. Very few made it on surplus here in the US. I only saw a few offered for sale on Shotgun News in the early 1990s when no one knew that the French even had these bayonets.

    I liked the video. I own an original Swiss SIG SG540 and I’m very happy with it! It’s only hard to get stuff for it but I’ve found in the last few years the bayonet and an extra mag. I live in The Netherlands and think there are not many original SG540 left.

    Carried a 551 on duty for three years before I became the special weapons coordinator at SIG. Without a doubt one of the finest battle rifle’s ever built.

    "Schlock,Schlock" best bolt movement description ever.

    Nice! Yes the 550 is heavier than I would like it to be. This one looks like a great rifle, hope to see more of it.
